Peoria Diamond Club 50/50 Raffle

Official Rules

1. General. By participating in the Peoria Diamond Club 50/50 Raffle (“Raffle”), entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Peoria Diamond Club, Inc., d/b/a Peoria Diamond Club (“PDC”), which shall be binding and final as to all matters related to the Raffle. The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and is void where prohibited.

2. Net Proceeds. All net proceeds of the Raffle will benefit PDC, a 501(c)(3) organization, and the programs that PDC supports.

3. Eligibility. The Raffle is open to all persons age eighteen (18) and older and subject to these Official Rules.

4. Purchasing Raffle Tickets. All Raffle tickets (“Raffle Tickets”) may be purchased as follows: three (3) Raffle Tickets for $5.00; ten (10) Raffle Tickets for $10.00; forty (40) Raffle Tickets for $20.00. There are no discounts or complimentary Raffle Tickets. Raffle Tickets will be available for purchase in-person at San Diego Padres or Seattle Mariners home games at Peoria Sports Complex (the “Stadium”) during the 2017 Spring Training Season from PDC volunteers. Raffle Tickets will be sold each day from the time the gates are opened until the middle of the 7th inning. There is no limit to the number of Raffle Tickets an individual may purchase. Each entrant will receive a receipt corresponding to his/her purchased Raffle Ticket(s). Entries which are or appear to be tampered with are void. PDC shall be the sole judge of the validity and eligibility of all entries. All Raffle Ticket purchases shall be final, and no refunds or replacements will be issued by PDC. Raffle Tickets are only valid for the drawing held on the date of purchase.

5. Raffle Tickets are Not Tax Deductible. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.

6. Prize. Each winner will receive a prize equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total proceeds from Raffle Tickets sold for that drawing.

7. Taxes. Each winner shall be responsible for any and all travel, costs, federal, state and local income or excise taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with a prize. At the time of this printing, federal law requires that a tax withholding on certain prize values must be collected from winners upon award and distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time each prize is claimed will be followed.

8. Selection of Winner. Before the 8^th inning of each San Diego Padres or Seattle Mariners home game, one (1) Raffle Ticket will be drawn by PDC to determine the winner of the prize. The number of the winning Raffle Ticket will be announced in the Stadium during the 8^th inning.

9. Prize Claim. Within thirty (30) days of the applicable drawing, the prize claimant must notify Peoria Diamond Club "PDC" at 16101 N 83rd Ave, Suite #2, Peoria, AZ 85382, 623-773-8710 or in-person at the Stadium during normal business hours (9:00 am to 5:00 pm) to claim a prize. Each prize claimant must provide PDC with all information required to claim a prize (including tax identification information). The prize claimant will receive an Affidavit, Prize Claim, and Release (“Release”) which must be executed and returned to PDC no later than five (5) business days after his/her receipt of the Release. In the event a claimant: (a) does not notify PDC within thirty (30) days of the drawing; (b) is ruled ineligible for any reason; (c) refuses the prize; or (d) does not return an executed Release, the prize will be forfeited and will be retained by PDC for charitable use. PDC has no obligation to contact potential winners. All prizes will be sent to the winner via check within thirty (30) days of the winner delivering the winning Raffle Ticket, executed Release, and all other required documents to PDC. For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to Raffle winners.

10. Odds. The odds of winning the Raffle depend on the number of Raffle Tickets purchased for the drawing.

11. Transfer of Raffle Tickets or Prize. Persons who purchase Raffle Tickets may opt to give away their Raffle Tickets to other eligible persons, but in doing so the purchaser waives any claim he/she might otherwise have to the prize. Purchasers of Raffle Tickets may not re-sell their Raffle Tickets to other parties, and may not knowingly give Raffle Tickets away to others for the purpose of allowing those other parties to re-sell such Raffle Tickets. All Raffle Tickets which have been resold in violation of these Official Rules shall be void. All individuals who re-sell, purchase, or receive Raffle Tickets in violation of these Official Rules shall be ineligible to participate in the Raffle or to win a prize. A winner may transfer his/her prize to a third party provided that the following conditions are met: (a) the transferee would have otherwise been eligible to enter the Raffle (age eighteen (18) or older); (b) the transferee shall be responsible for all taxes and costs described in these Official Rules; and (c) the transferee shall be bound by all terms and conditions of these Official Rules that are applicable to the winner.

12. Judges. The Raffle will be conducted and supervised by PDC, whose decisions are final. PDC reserves the right to modify these Official Rules at any time. Charities reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the Raffle should unauthorized human intervention or other causes corrupt the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the Raffle.
